2019 Ford F-150 Supercab PU/EC 4x4 Safety Features

Here are the safety features that come as standard on the 2019 Ford F-150 Supercab PU/EC 4x4

Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

ESC is an advanced safety feature in vehicles designed to help drivers maintain control during challenging driving conditions. By continuously monitoring various factors such as steering angle, vehicle speed, and individual wheel speeds, ESC can detect and reduce the risk of skidding or loss of control. It achieves this by automatically applying brakes to specific wheels to stabilize the vehicle.

Standard
Forward Collision Warning (FCW)

Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is a safety feature in vehicles that helps prevent frontal collisions by alerting the driver of an imminent collision with a vehicle or obstacle ahead. Using sensors such as radar or cameras, FCW monitors the distance and speed of vehicles in front, and if it detects a potential collision, it provides visual and/or auditory warnings to prompt the driver to take evasive action.

Standard
Lane Departure Warning (LDW)

Lane Departure Warning (LDW) is a safety feature in vehicles that alerts drivers when their vehicle unintentionally drifts out of its lane without signaling. Utilizing cameras or sensors to monitor lane markings on the road, LDW detects when the vehicle crosses these lines and triggers visual, auditory, or haptic alerts to notify the driver of potential lane departure.

Complaint:
"on my 2019 ford f-150 with ~68,000 miles the 10r80 10 speed transmission was jumping out of gear while going down of the road in 10th gear going 58-65mph, having to feather the gas to get it back into gear. also during take off from a stop light the gears would slam into gear and sometimes not even go into gear causing me to not only stop traffic but abruptly change the speed of my truck which has almost caused multiple accidents. thankfully i did not have my family in my vehicle during some of these "close encounters." this is an active problem with ford and already multiple attempts for lawsuits with little traction. someone is going to die and it is going to be on ford for not addressing this issue. i brought it to lookout ford in morehead city, nc. and they said it was a bad valve body, and they are seeing them more frequently by the day with all fords with 10r80 transmission. finally i went to get my valve body replaced at torque transmission in new bern, n.c. and got sent to lincoln dealership to get the new part flashed and calibrated. once torque transmission picked up my truck from lincoln, the issue was not resolved and gave him issues driving all the way back to the shop. after torque did more research and reading ford bulletins they had to replace my 10r80 transmission with a brand new one from ford dealership. due to my truck being over 68,000 miles i am out of pocket, but there are cases of this happening to vehicles with 20k miles all the way to 60k miles. i have the ford connect app and can provide picture of the numerous notifications on when my truck had a failure of gear, loss of power at stop light and during driving. notification is called, "powertrain malfunction/reduce power" i have 14 notifications time stamped over a period of a month. someone is seriously going to get injured or killed if not resolved. please do not sleep on this, this is very serious and very important. just google the 10r80 transmission problems and it will prove it"
